[Helicobacter pylori infection as a cause of hypergastrinemia]
Abstract:
With the aid of the radioimmunologic technique, the content was studied of blood serum gastrin in healthy patients, those presenting with chronic gastritis under exposure to Helicobacter pylori (Hp+) and free from the infection (Hp-). The secured results suggest to us that (Hp-) patients have hypogastrinemia with antral localization of the pathological process. In (Hp+) patients, blood serum levels of gastrin are noted to be significantly higher than the analogous indices in essentially healthy subjects, (Hp-) patients presenting with antral- and pangastritis.

Gastritis II: Pathophysiology
Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Pathophysiology of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Injurious Factors
In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
